Freddie Mercury Museum

This guide to the Freddie Mercury Museum in Zanzibar City starts two floors below the leather jacket upstairs, in the house on Kenyatta Road where Bomi and Jer Bulsara raised a shy boy named Farrokh. It follows him to the Zoroastrian temple down the street where he first sang in public, then to a boarding school near Bombay where he found a piano, formed a covers band called the Hectics, and picked up the name Freddie years before anyone outside that school knew it. You'll hear what brought the family back to finish his schooling in Stone Town before they sailed for England in 1963. Look at the piano in the room where he first learned to want an audience.
